Can not figure out how to remove fuel line. 2000 Montero
 

I am having trouble removing the yellow fuel line. I bought the X-shaped tool the was supposedly going to help that that has not worked. If anyone knows any trick I would love to hear them, this thing is driving me crazy.

I believe the tool you are referring supposed to slide under the yellow tabs (over the pipe, but under the tabs) and that will release clips that hold the fuel line.
